Look at https://github.com/turbolinks/turbolinks-ios/issues/103 's last two answers and see if they help you. A little work is needed on the iOS side.

Rails always sends DELETE as a POST to work in all browsers that may not support making DELETE requests directly, using a hidden _method=DELETE field:

Because submitting forms with HTTP methods other than GET and POST isn't widely supported across browsers, all other HTTP methods are actually sent over POST with the intended method indicated in the _method parameter. Rails automatically detects and compensates for this.
